CATCHING Light is an installation of woven stars for the One Million Stars to End Violence project, created by local artist and weaver, Maryann Talia
Pau. The goal is to weave one million stars for a major display at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games. The exhibition aims to raise awareness of the monumental work that needs to be done to end all forms of violence, including violence against women, bullying and racism.
